Vegan waffle cookies with hazelnut-chocolate filling
For me – chocolate and hazelnut is a divine combination. I thought of the filling for these cookies first, when I created this recipe. The nutty chocolate filling together with a crunchy little waffle cookie is a great little snack, paired with your afternoon tea or coffee. According to your preferences, you can make these sandwich cookies vegan or you use regular butter, milk and chocolate.
I added instant coffee to half of the cookie dough. This added a nice extra flavour and I really like both versions! Leave out the coffee or give it a try – with half of the dough – and then only half a teaspoon of coffee – or not. 🙂 Check, what you have in your pantry and get the waffle iron out.

R E C I P E
Waffles
- 260 grams of all purpose flour
- 70 grams of brown sugar
- 4 grams of fresh yeast
- 125 grams of melted (vegan) butter
- 30 ml of (almond) milk
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
- (Optional) 1 tsp of (decaf) instant coffee
- Mix the flour, milk, sugar and yeast together. Add in the melted (cooled down) butter and incorporate.
- Mix in the vanilla & salt. Form a ball of dough and cover this in a bowl, with a clean kitchen towel.
- Let the dough rest at room temperature for ~ 60 minutes.
- Bake little waffles in a waffle iron for thin waffles.
- Take from the waffle iron when golden brown. This takes according to your waffle iron – 1 or 2 minutes. Optional: Use a cookie cutter to create a certain shape & let these cool down. If you want to make sandwich cookies, it is easier and prettier to have the same shapes, so I would go for the cookie cutter-variation. But feel free to just bake waffles and put the filling in between.
Hazelnut-chocolate filling
- 100 grams of dark (vegan) chocolate
- 100 grams of hazelnut butter from @prozis https://prozis.com/N2mW
- 3 tsp of coconut oil
- 3 tsp of maple syrup
- Melt the chocolate and the coconut oil in the microwave for 30/60/90 seconds. Add in the hazelnut butter and mix in completely.
- Stir in maple syrup last.
- Now you can take two waffle cookies and add the filling to the middle.
This recipe needs a couple of steps, but it creates really delicous, little waffle cookies. Hope you will enjoy these.
Love and Happiness,
